Discover an exceptional blend of privacy, craftsmanship, and modern efficiency in this custom Douglas fir timber frame home, nestled on 12+ acres along a quiet dead-end road. Surrounded by soaring oak and maple trees, this peaceful sanctuary offers complete solitude while remaining just +/-20 minutes from Rutland, Killington, and Pico. The +/-2,000 sq. ft. home centers around an open, light-filled great room featuring a dramatic south-facing wall of glass. Ideal for entertaining, the main living area flows seamlessly onto the three-season porch and into a chef's kitchen appointed with a Bertazzoni Master Series gas range, Bosch stainless steel appliances, custom red birch cabinetry, and a cherry butcher-block island. The main-level primary suite features a walk-in closet, three-quarter bath, and direct access to the screened/three-season porch, perfect for peaceful morning coffee. The main level also includes a welcoming foyer, half bath, laundry, and entry porch. Upstairs, a versatile open loft connects to a generous second bedroom and full bath. The walkout lower level offers outstanding expansion potential (septic permitted for four bedrooms). Exceptional warmth and craftsmanship are evident throughout, with custom Douglas fir tongue oiled trim and doors, and hardwood floors milled on site. Engineered for superior year-round comfort, this 5-Star Efficiency-Rated home features SIP stress-skin insulated panels, Marvin windows, and radiant floor heating throughout. The robust mechanical system includes dual heating (wood and high-efficiency Bosch propane boilers), a mini-split heating and A/C unit, whole-house ventilation, and a heat-pump water heater. A 200-amp service with commercial transfer switch and full-house generator (included at list price) provides added peace of mind.
